Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the yellow wool is much brighter in the original and there are multicoloured specks in some of the black triangles. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. There are a few loose threads in places which are in keeping with the artist's working process.

Catalogue Note

“I draw inspiration from all over, but mostly I’m attracted to objects that are handmade and have some kind of special quality to them. It’s hard to explain, but I can admire a Picasso just as much as a crusty wooden lawn ornament my uncle made in 1987” (Brent Wadden quoted in: 'Brent Wadden talks to Lisa Wilson', Dapper Dan Magazine, No. 6, October 2012, n.p.).
